I tried just using the ../../include syntax for
coff.h, unconst.h and dxe.h 
by putting it in an ifdef if DXE_LD is defined (for native).

Then I found out we were using process.h - which is nonstandard,
to get to spawn() functions (since the exec functions which are
standard really require fork...)

I guess the more "standard, portable" way to do this is system(), which
we had before, or maybe popen().  Any other suggestions here?

It seems that the simple/ugly way would be to provide a fake spawn
wrapper which just loops the arguments into a string and then passes it
to system.

(A good thing is if we get rid of spawn() functions we can get rid of
unconst too).
